Anyone shoot guns? I mainly shoot .22's for practicing my breathing and my sight alignment, since I'm a begginer :) I have a semi-auto .22 and a .22 revolver. I'm planning on getting a Russian Mosin Nagant or a 9MM Makarov. So if anyone shoots, post your gun! Also, don't start a "OMG YOUR A HICK!" or a "AMERICANS AND THEIR SILLY GUNS" debate. Thank you! :D

I was watching a good CSI episode last nigh about guns.

Strict gun policy in Ireland, so I don't have any. Wouldn't want any regardless. I've gone clay pigeon shooting, enjoyed it, but that was it. Just went once. Enough for me.

Never heard of it. I like a lot of WWII guns. Like Russian Mosin, or the German K98, or American M1 Garand! :) Automatics are expensive and require a Class 3 license. But I think I might do it when I get older.

I shot guns in the military. Standard Austrian Steyr STG-47 assault rifle (I believe the international name is AUG-something) and P-68 pistol (a Glock, I think).

Not since then. I'd have to get a license, and it's expensive and I really don't see the point.

Haven't hunted in a while. . . became a vegitarian 3 years ago, but was a good shot with the 270 @ 100 yards.

I've shot .22s before. I'm horrible at it.

You got it right, it's the Steyr AUG! :)

Well buying guns and collecting them is a hobby. Some like to collect old and new weapons. It's owning a piece of history like a Thompson SMG or M1. Sure it's expensive, but what isn't in this world? Everyone has their own hobby. Some cut hair for a living, and need $200 scissors. I think it's a waste of money, but it's their hobby, and should be respected. I also realize you weren't offending me, but I just wanted to elaborate! :)

>> but what isn't in this world?
Cheap pointless hobbies ... such as ... standing ... and erm ... sitting. Damn.

I shot guns while in the Army. The Heckler & Koch G3 and the Galil assault riffle. I also fired 9mm Glocks.

After the army I didn't hold a weapon anymore. Weapons don't interest me.

I had a .22 calibur rifle. I don't even remember the brand because it's been so long since I fired it, or been interested in firearms. I had to dispose of all my ammo when my mom had like, a suicidal episode.

I'd rather learn something awesome like swordfighting but you can't do that in my area. :(

Got me an HK USP .45 Compact. Haven't shot it in years. Before that I had a S&W SW9F (I think) 9mm that I traded in to get the HK. A couple people at work are really into guns and hunting... Winchesters, .270s, KAR98s, black powder rifles, Martin Henris, Arisaka (Japanese rifle?), Lee Enfields and pistols gallore.
